Re: Sibun River Group, Inc. Form S-1; Commission File No.: 333-84905
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned, Sibun River Group, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the
"Registrant"), hereby applies to withdraw the Registration Statement on Form S-1
(SEC Reg. No. 333-84905), as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") on August 10, 1999, as subsequently amended (the
"Registration Statement"). We will also withdraw our Request for Confidential
Treatment filed with the Office of the Secretary.
The reason for the Registrant's application of withdrawal is that the
distribution license which is Registrant's primary asset and upon which it bases
its business plan is the subject of a legal dispute and Registrant's ability to
implement its business plan has been seriously undermined. Registrant's
distribution license was granted by Mortenson & Associates, which received its
license from NW Technologies Inc. NW Technologies Inc. has abrogated Mortenson
& Associates' license, which results in a material adverse effect on the value
of the Registrant's equity securities.
No offers or sales of securities were made in connection with the
Registration Statement. The Registrant requests that the Commission consent to
this application on the grounds that the withdrawal of the Registration
Statement is consistent with the public interest and protection of investors, as
contemplated by Rule 477 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933.
Please do not hesitate to call me at (604) 687-2199, or Jim
Vandeberg at (206) 386-8080 if you have any questions.
